Re: New Enterprise? What the H@*$
I have been watching similar threads on other forums.
My biggest surprise was that the XI ship looks so much like the previous movie versions.
As much as I would have liked to have seen an XI Enterprise that looked like a face-lift of the TOS design, I am open to whatever they come up with.
But they had, in essence, a clean slate.
In other words, they could have updated the TOS version.
They could have used movies for inspiration.
But what I thought they might do is something that deviated from either influence...or was at least inspired by the TV design but took it to a different place.
Instead, the final ship looks like a retooled movie version.
I wonder if this was a deliberate choice? If design team said, okay, uniforms will be influenced from TOS TV series, ships and interiors from movie.
What I was hoping for was the design team to say, "Okay, we've seen the TV series and the movies....but the story we are telling is set in the TV era, so let's make sure ALL designs -- costumes, props, sets, ships, etc. -- use the TV series design as inspiration, and throw everything else out the window.
But for whatever reason, Paramount design department never calls me to ask my opinion on such stuff.
